The Man Who Came To Dinner

·1 min

(Many, many dinners, by the looks of it.) So David Wells is staying. As Jimmy Durante once asked, Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to go, and still have the feeling that you wanted to stay? Start to go / change your mind / start to go again / change your mind again… Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to go, and still have the feeling that you wanted to stay? Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do - I go… I staaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy…

(Sorry, got caught up in the moment. And in putting on an atrocious Durante accent. And yes, the Clash would have been too obvious.)

Still too early to say whether Wells is really staying, or whether this is yet another point in the bargaining. There will be time yet for a hundred indecisions… or for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
